Introduction

Badenach Boats have been building fibreglass commercial vessels since 1996 using the best of material and tradesmen. George Badenach is a Commercial Cray Fisherman on the west coast of Tasmania and knows the need for tough and durable workboats which he has a reputation for building. Flexibility has always been an important issue, as every commercial operator will invariably have slightly or entirely different operating needs for their boat. All vessels are built to the latest NSCV survey requirements. The 12 and 13.8 metre vessels are from the drawing board of leading Western Australian Naval Architect Mark Ellis, which feature fine bow, soft riding easy planing fuel efficient Hull. The 18 metre fibreglass Displacement Fishing Vessel is from well known Tasmanian Naval Architect Alan Muir. This boat has a very large carrying capacity with a displacement of 60 tonne loaded.
